California Driver License (DMV) Written Practice Test

When can you legally pass another vehicle?

1. When there is a broken line on the road

2. When the other vehicle is turning right

3. When there is a solid double yellow line

4. When the posted speed limit is exceeded

The correct answer is: When the other vehicle is turning right

When passing another vehicle, it is important to do so legally and safely to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road. Choice A, When there is a broken line on the road, is incorrect as this actually means you cannot legally pass the vehicle. A broken line indicates that passing is allowed only when it is safe to do so, such as when there is no oncoming traffic or obstructions in the road. Choice C, When there is a solid double yellow line, is also incorrect as this indicates that passing is not allowed at any time. This is usually seen on roads with heavy traffic or where the visibility is limited. Choice D, When the posted speed limit is exceeded, is not a valid reason for passing as exceeding the speed limit is illegal and can endanger yourself and others. This leaves us with choice B as the correct answer, as it is legal to pass a vehicle on
